A Glass of Water in the Morning.

According to Dr.. Leuf, when water is
taken into the full or partly full stomach,
it does not min gle with the food, as we
are generally taught, but passes along
quickly between the food and the lesser
curvature, towards the pylorus, through
which it passes INTO the intestine. The
secretion of mucus by the lining MEM
brane is constant, and during the night
a considerable amount accumulates in
tho stomach, some of its liquid portion
is absorbed, and that which remains is
thick and tenacious. If food is taken
into the stomach when in this condition,
it becomes coated with this mucus and
the secretion of the gastric juice and its
action arc delayed. These facts show
the value of a goblet of water before
breakfast. This washes out tho tena-
cious mucus, and stimulates the gastric
glands to secretion. In old or feeble
persons water should not be taken cold,
but it may be with great advantage then
taken warm or hot. This removal of
the accumulated mucus from the stomach
is probably one of the reasons why TAX
ing soup at the beginning of q meal has
always been found so beneficial. II New
York Post.

Why She AdOred the Minister.

The R.v. S. R. Calthrop, Unitarian
minister in Syracuse, speaking of getting
encouragement recently, told how he got
some when he preached down in Marble
head. His wife had come to him and
said there was dear little girl who had
injured herself. She had been such a
regular attendant at church. She had
such great admiration for Mr.. Cal,hrop
she had never missed hearing him, even
wading through the snow that he
ought to visit his young parishioner.
He went. He was met by the little
girls mother, who began "A repetition
of Tho story that tho minister's wife
had told, as they walked along to the
sick-room. There the child lay,
propped up, and overheard the last
statements from her mother of her own
delight in the pastors preaching.
"Ycs, sir" chimed in the girl, as
the minister stood by her bedside,
''It's beautiful to hear you preach, you
hollcr so!'- Chicago Herald.

Something Good in Him,

"John," said wife to her husband,
'l've heard say that there is something
good in everybody, but declare that
boy of ours, it seems to me, has posi-
lively not a good thing in him. He is
the worst boy / ever saw"
"You are mistaken, Maria. That boy
certainly has something good in him, for
/ Just saw him steal jar of your best
preserves, and he has eaten over half OF
them now. You must admit that he has
that much good in him, or else aeknowl-
edge that your preserves are no good"

Central African Negroes.

The majority of the negroes live on
the products of agriculture and stock
raising. There are no tribes without
agriculture in Central Africa, except the
dwar6sh Watwa and Aka. Though
their implements are very simple, they
clear the dense woods and fence in their
fields. Hirse is the most important grain
they grow. 1t is cultivated in all parts
of Africa. Sorghum, manioc, aud ba-
tatas arc grown in the lower countries,
maize and pulse on the highlands. In
Uganda, bananas are tho principal food.
Stock raising is the favorte occupation
of many East African tribes. The herds
men are frequently warlike nations who
have subducd warlike tribes. The Gala,
Wahuma, and Watuta have founded en-
pires of this kind. On the upper Nile
the natives are engaged in both stock
raising and agriculture. Cattle, sheep,
goats, dogs, and poultry are raised by
these people.
The most remarkable industry of AZ
rica is that of iron working, which is
known in all parts, the bushmen alone
being unacquainted with it when they be-
came known to the Europeans. The
Africans know how to obtain the iron
from the ores and manufacture bcauti-
full instruments of it. B;sidcs iron, they
manufacture copper implements and
make copper and iron wire. The negroes
do not know how to tan skins, but
soften them by scraping and beating;
neither do they practice the art of join
ing wood; while carving, plating, and
weaving arc highly developed.
The civilization of the negroes is not
at all a low one. Their mode of life,
their industry. anil their political in
stitutions are ample proof of this. Large
empires founded by men cxceIling on
intelligence and character, and extensive
migrations of energetic nations, are
characteristic of its history. The OBJ
servations Of all explorers show that
arts and industry are far more devel-
oped in the interior than near the
coast. Here, as everywhere else, the
contact with nations of higher civilza-
tion, the whites and Arabs, tends to
destroy the native culture. Here the
ruthless Arabian slave-hunters dcvastatc
regions which were nourishing before
their arrival, and the final destiny OF
the Africans will depend to a great
extent on the end of the final struggle
between the whites and tho Arabs.

COcOanuts for Coin.

They are worse off for coin in Gu
lauto, Venezuela, than we are in Pan
anna. 1t appears tue people have no
coin, and when they want to buy any
thing they Immediately steal few
cocoanuts and hand these over to the
traders for the supplies they require.
This has led the project of the district
to issue degree which is unparalleled
probably in financial circles. He has
prohibited the use Of cocoanuts as
money and threatens traders with con-
dign punishment who may receive them
as such. Rather strange way of pro-
tccting the palms from the depredations
Of robbers, who must be strong
backed lot if they can carry about much
wealth in the shape of punches of
cocoanuts. = Panama Star and Herald.

PrOgres, in Japan.

1t is sad to learn that one of the sacri--
fees which progress requires from
Japan is the abolition of the pretty,
graceful, and becoming costum, in
which the women clothe themselves.
The Times CORES pondent at Toxic de.
clares that the adoption of European
earb is not due to feminine caprice or
the eagerucss of milliners after some new
thing. 1t is part of deliberate policy
entered upon by Count Ito, the most
sagacious of living japanese statesmen,
and is closely connected with the future
wcll-bcing of the country. Japan has
committed herself to occidentalism, aud
she must go on and become one of the
circle of western nations n all respects.
But though the male Japanese shoots
and hunts, and speaks French, and
reads Mr.. Herbert Spencer, and does
little on the stock exchange, the Japan
csc woman is still in the oriental con-
dition of bondage and ignorance. Jap
ancsc domestic life, thinks Count Ito,
must be revolutionizci, and the present
arrangements of the japanese home
rendered this physically impossible.
Corscts and "drcss improvers, and
Partisan bonnets will tend to that end.

grace with the most delightful pic.

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

Hurt not your conscience with any
known sin.
The heavens are as deep as our aspira.
tions are high.
Hope is like the sun, which, as we
Journey towards it, casts the shadow Of
our burden behind us.
Every great and commanding move
ment in the annals of tho world is the
triumph of enthusiasm.
The talent of success is nothing more
than doing what you can do we'll with
out thought Of fame.
1t is better to have thorns in the flesh
with grace to endure them, than to havo
no thorns and no grace.
He who does base thing in zeal for
his friend, burns the golden thread that
ties their hearts together.
An irritable man lies like hedgehog
rolled up the wrong way, tormenting
himself with his own prickles.
Purity, sincerity, obedience and self
surrender-thcse are the marble steps
that lead to the spiritual temple.
Misfortune is never mournful to the
soul that accepts it, for such do always
see that every c!ou is an angels face.
Revenge is debt, in the paying of
which the greatest knavc is honest and
sincere, aud, SO far as he is able,
punctual.
He who decides in any case, without
hearing the other side of the question,
though he may determine justly, is not
therefore just.

But yet there's ware,
Precious and rare,
fain would buy me
In Vanity Fair"
"Pray sell me, sir, from your motley store,
A heart that will love me forever more,
That. whether the world shall praise or
blame,
Through sorrow or joy will be still the sama
'Tis the only ware
For which l care
Mid all the treasures
In Vanity Fair"
"Much it greves me, o lassie dear."
The pe1ler said, "But greatly fear
The hearts that loved in the old sweet way
Have been out of fashion this many day;
And glded care
Is all the ware
You will get for your money
In Vanity Fair

Four Seasons.

Spring Is a maiden divinely fair,
With violets blue in her golden hair
At the balmy touch Of her dainty feet
The primrose pale and cowsip sweet
Burst for tn from their wintry winding sheet;
And the forest leaves peep out to see
Who this beautiful, bountifu maid can be.
Summers warrior flushed with fame.
He rides DER earth in his car Of flame;
His whip is the whirlwinds circling lash,
His shout is the deafening thunder's crash.
His spear is the lightning's binding fash
He breathes, and the hills are parched and
dry,
Aud the rivulets, fading, in vapors fly.
Autumn's a merchant of princely mien.
The earth's best fruits at his feet are seen.
His wondrous stores Of gol len grain
Are garnered high ON the sunlit plain,
And flow like seas DER his rich domain,
And his nut>brown children shout with glee
As they gather his treasures around his kne,.
Winters monster Of fiendish guise,
With famine and wo in his baleful eyes.
He blights the air with his icy breath,
He scsurges the life from the land beneath.
The waters he binds in the chains of death
And he laughs to hear the plaintive wall
Of the famishing poor in the frozen vale.

From Bad to Worse,

After certain concert well-kuoxn
German cantatrice asked a gentleman to
whom she had been introduced how he
liked her duet. "You sang charmingly,
madame. Blu. why did you select such a
horrid piece of music?'
'Sir, that was written by my late
husband"
"Ah, yes, of course. did not mean
But why did you select such a COW to
sing with youG"
